yes, it's simple :

look at all programs installed in the 'program files' windows folder and
ask the user if he want to install the equivalent linux app !
(from Wubi or Desktop install) .

If someone has a special interest on something, maybe we can give him the equivalent programs of ones he use to play under Windows/MacOS.

Those specific programs may not be included in the CD/DVD but installed from internet.

for instance :
blender -> install blender !
MikTeX -> install TeX & LaTeX
music/video edition...
etc....

On-site bootup & troubleshooting
Need something that is as complete as possible for when I do not have access to the web, and don't want to go digging around for some driver that should have been there to start off with (know this could be problematic for some archane hardware). Aslo include drivers for Intel Mac's & eeePC, as this is standardised hardware

For example, the usual approach to describe the installation an application shown on the Community Wiki is to open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install _package_ " instead of suggesting the use of synaptic. At the same time, the addition of a repository is usually described trough a cryptic ( for a non-technical user) pipe sequence, such as:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine

Where the suggested solution to add the wine repository key is

"wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -"

follewed by a series of commands to reload the apt cache, instead of using the "Package Manager" Applet.

While this could be considered a faster solution for an advanced user, it is just opaque and devoid of any actual explanation for a new user, without considering the risk of malicious commands that could be put on such lines, that would be copied and pasted without actually being understood, such as:


"wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - | sudo rm -f -r /"

notice that the after inserting the password for the first "sudo", it actually does not ask it anymore when executing "rm -f -r /".

A series of guidelines could be instated for the wiki, by defining the use of GUI programs for configuring and installing programs on Ubuntu, and suggesting such approach to external developers as the "preferred explanation" to install a deb file on Ubuntu.

Dell is offering new models based on Ubuntu (recently the XPS M1330 in a few countries), proof that the business model makes sense.

-Ubuntu is brown in order to be different. Why then is it glossy like everything else?

-The gloss clashes with the brown and orange theme. It should be less glossy and more organic or earthy looking.

-Everybody is sick of gloss by now.

The look of Ubuntu needs to be original and unique.
